Traton reports slight increase in Q2 delivery but US tariffs weigh

Traton, a German truck manufacturer, reported on Wednesday that second-quarter deliveries were up 1% year on year in spite of the uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariffs.

Volkswagen's subsidiary, International Motors, reported a 10% rise in sales of 17,600 vehicles after a fire in a supplier plant during the previous quarter.

The U.S. Market faces continued uncertainty about the impact of tariffs on imports and economic forecasts, according to a press release. It also noted that sales for the unit in the first half of the year had decreased by 2%.

Traton shares were up 2.4% by 1028 GMT.

Fabio Hoelscher of Warburg Research said that Traton’s two most important segments - Scania and MAN - were above estimates and grew sequentially.

Hoelscher said that Traton's comments from the pre-close call for the second quarter continue to indicate a weaker 3rd quarter, and the guidance is still optimistic given the current economic conditions.
